Hi Sucram

There is a Ewer (Ewan?) Mordaunt shown aged what appears to be 50 and Elizabeth aged 50 (or could be 51), on the 1841 census. They are living at Bird Cage Walk, Tower Hamlets.

Regards

Nick

Hi Sucram

I would say Elizabeth's age looks like 51 (or even 57). See what you think on attached image.

many thanks for your help, i am hoping it`s something to do with lawyers as the  MORDAUNT i am looking for was a barrister. I will try putting it on a board and i am sure someone will tell me.

Don't forget that the ages in the 1841 census are usually rounded down so the actual age could be 50-54 if that is what it says.

Their marriage seems to be on the IGI
